My books. Spain. Observations on life.

Life of Pi
Sunday, December 2, 2012 @ 8:33 PM

My lady and I went to watch the movie 'Life of Pi' last evening. Nice film, but the ending is a bit of an anti climax. Nice to see a film that didn't have gun violence in it for a change.

Personally I think that anyone who doesn't agree with stronger gun laws ought to be shot.

We went shopping at M & S in La Canada last week, nice choices in men's and ladies clothes. My wife bought a few things, one of which was a scarf. She said she's going to take it back though. I asked why, and she replied, "It's too tight".

On the subject of clothes, if, as some people are demanding, it becomes illegal to wear a veil at work, I'm sure bee keepers will be furious !

My son in law and my brother in law both keep bees on their land in the UK and here in Spain. My bro in law got stung on the finger and it swelled up to twice it's normal size. Both men are now attending their bee hives naked from the waist down.....

It's no joke getting stung by bees though. My grandpa was sunbathing one summer and got stung a number of times on his back. My grandma covered his back with lard. He went downhill very quickly after that.

People worry about their hearts a lot nowadays because of stress. They shouldn't worry really, it will last as long as they live. Whilst being examined my doctor told me there was something wrong with the alimentary canal....I'm puzzled...isn't that somewhere in Africa? I have a feeling my doctor may be losing it, he asked me if I have an allergy to placebos. The same doctor told my wife she might have fibroids, she said she thought that was a breakfast cereal.

My grandson swallowed a 2 euro piece when on holiday with us this week. I'm taking him to the Xanit Hospital if there's no change by Tuesday. My granddaughter had a cough so I told her to get the cough syrup bottle out of the first aid cupboard in the kitchen. She brought it in and tried to open it but couldn't. I told her it had a childproof cap, and I'd have to open it for her. She then asked me, "How does the bottle know I'm only a child?"

My businessman son told me he knew a lot about wine. I told him I had acquired a bottle of 2007 Southern Rhone Red . His reply, "That's a bit old, haven't you got anything new?"

They say that if you spill red wine you can nuetralise it with white wine. Does the same principle apply when you drink a glass of red wine?
